Re^3: How to install CPAN modules

Please tell me I am misreading this

You are misreading this.
As a sysadmin, you would be able to install a "systemwide Perl installation for all users to use" - one that is separate and distinct from the perl that the system uses.

Typically, it would be in some place like /usr/local, and users would *not* have permissions to install CPAN modules into this perl's @INC directories.
But that would not prevent them from installing modules (to use with this systemwide perl) into their home directories.

Cheers,
Rob

To be honest: i'm still unsure about this issue. For the moment, i prefer to have one or more functional users (like `sybase` or `monitoring` or whatever) and each one having a own Perl installation in his `$HOME` - managed with perlbrew.

Got it. Thanks. I was lumping "system Perl" with "system-wide Perl" -- clearly a noob error. Much relieved am I.	[reply]
